Parts for Craftsman 271281611: On Isolation Assembly Parts

This is a genuine OEM replacement locknut sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is used in various applications on a variety of hedge trimmers, snow blowers, and other outdoor lawn and garden equipment. This locknut is threaded and used to secure threaded bolts that fasten two parts together on machinery. Lock nuts are resistant to loosening when threaded and tightened correctly. Lock nuts are used when the nut needs to stay on the bolt when under torque or used in vibrating parts. Locknuts are different on each side of the nut, making removal more complicated than standard nuts. Lock nuts are installed by hand up until it is secure. A torque wrench is then used to tighten the lock nut to the specified torque. If removal is necessary, start with a socket to loosen the nut. It may take a lot of strength to turn the nut, especially if the locknut has been installed for a long time. Once the lock nut is removed, check the bolt threads to ensure they were not damaged during removal. If damaged or corroded, replace the bolt before installing a new locknut.This locknut is made from high-quality metal and sold individually. It is compatible with hedge trimmers, trimmers, chainsaws, and other engines manufactured by Shindaiwa, Echo, and other manufacturers.
